There is a wide misconception that pre-term babies require high-technological support. There is an evidence-based simple method called the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) where humans act as incubators for the newborns. The benefits of KMC are profound: The infant gets warmth, increased breastfeeding support, basic care for infection prevention, and reduced breathing difficulties, which could reduce deaths without the availability of costly neonatal intensive care. As per global evidence, KMC reduces mortality risk by 40% in stabilized under-2kg newborns compared to conventional care. He is a pioneer of Kangaroo Mother Care intervention in Bangladesh.
